Lily of the Valley Queen
THE LILY OF THE VALLEY
(Freddie Mercury/Queen. From the classic albumn _Sheer Heart
Attack_.)
There's a small timing change - to 2/4? - at the end of the
chorus. Just play along with the recording and you'll get it
easily enough. Chords repeated in parentheses are just there to
guide the rhythm a bit.
C G7 Am (add g bass)
I am forever searching high and low
[Am]But why does every body tell me [Dm]no?
[(Dm)]Neptune of the [G]seas, an [C]answer [Dm7]for me [G]please
The [C]lily [Dm7]of the [G]valley doesn't [Am]know[Dm] [Am] [Dm]
I[(Dm)] lie in [A7/C#m]wait with[C#dim] open [Dm]eyes
I [(Dm)]carry [C7]on through stormy [F]skies
I [(F)]follow every [C]course, my [C7]kingdom for a [C]horse
But [F]each [C/E]time [Dm]I [C]grow [G]old
[C]Serpent [Dm7]of the [G]Nile, re[C]lieve me [Dm7]for a [G]while
[C]cast me [F]from your [G]spell and [Am7]let me go[G] [C]
Messenger from seven seas has flown
To tell the king of Rhye he's lost his throne
Wars will never cease, is there time enough for peace?
The lily of the valley doesn't know
Extro: Am G|C
(beats) / / / / / (hold)
Strange chords:
Dm7 = xx0211
C#dim = xx1212
A7/C# = x42020
Am7 = x02213
C/E = xx2010
Also, I prefer playing C and G as 332010 and 320033 respectively,
but I don't know that it matters much.
